|
| | | | | | | | ITEM SUMMARY To approve an expenditure for Landscape Architect professional services in the amount of $224,393 from Freese and Nichols, Inc. for the Chisholm Trail Undercrossing at Spring Creek Parkway, Project No. 7436, for the Parks and Recreation Department; and authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary documents. Approved |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND Design services will take place along Chisholm Trail north and south of the Spring Creek Parkway underpass on both sides of the creek. Design services will include construction plans for the removal, elevation, and replacement of the existing shared-use concrete recreational trail. Trail replacement design will be on both sides of the creek and comprise a total of approximately one-third mile.
Freese and Nichols, Inc. was selected in the 2021-2025 CIP Park Development Program RFQ No. 2021-0380-XR. The contract fee of $224,393 includes topographic surveying, geotechnical analysis, site plan submittal and approval process, hydraulic and hydrologic modeling and analysis, and construction administration
This design project to replace the trail will help address the deposition of sediment, debris, and algae when the water level of Spring Creek rises during rain events and overtops an existing portion of Chisholm Trail. The accumulation of sediment and algae lead to hazardous conditions on the trail and long closure periods for maintenance operations to remove and clean the trail. If the project is not awarded, construction plans to alleviate the debris and sediment will not move forward.

Engineering design services for the Chisholm Trail Undercrossing at Spring Creek Parkway project, in the total estimated amount of $224,393, will leave a current year balance of $607 for future project expenditures.
